What's the bet on return, prospect?, Draft pick? Both?

Guess it depends who the buyer is... so if it's a top team... I say a 1st isn't out of reach.

Both or either. Beggers cant be choosers

He has a similar stat line as he did last year. How has his value gone up?

The market is that much different just a year later?

I’m not buying it. I’ll be the first to give props to Benning if he pulls that off.

The market seems to me that buyers are more loose with offers this TDL.

Then the people saying there was no market for Gudbranson were mistaken.

I didn't think we had good odds of getting better than a 3rd for Vanek until the Nash trade. I know they're different types of players but come on Vanek has to be worth a comparable amount

At the time maybe but down to nitty gritty time & lets see what gives.

I never noticed you can turn off scouting notification. how do you do that?
It is so hard to get a top 5 pick in that game sometimes.

- Retinalz

It's in the advanced settings, you can set the waiver notification and trade notification off, and turn scouting off in the same place. Only on the newest version, i don't know why it took them so long to do.

You have to trade for a top five pick, but if you draft for potential instead of expected position, I've found that you can nail franchise or elite players on the regular.

Anaheim seems the most desperate for scoring help right now, they're set up nicely down the middle but their scoring depth on the wings is shallow.

I think in the last 3 years of playing GM modes I've only gotten maybe 2 or 3 Franchise potential players. Easy to pick up millions of red elites who almost never turn out though.

Not sure about formality, but believe Erik Karlsson has made it known to Ottawa in recent days that he would prefer to see expedited resolution to the current situation.


Not sure how legit Yost is, but man Karlsson is basically just one step below of demanding a trade

- Nucker101


Karlson wanting out, Vanek sitting, coincidence?

Probably, but he did get a good prospect for burrows.

Ana & SJ both if not a 2nd then a 3rd & 4th is ok for me. Rather hold out for a 2nd or a good D prospect though.

- Nighthawk


I hear your sense of smell and raise you a sense of sight.




I just hope it's another big D cumming to play with Gudbranson.

Nucker?

I usually trade those for win now pieces. SO easy to keep yourself competitive with late round 'Low Elites' that never pan out but have tons of trade value.

I drafted 3 franchise goalies, two of them to ten and one on the second round in 5 simmed years.

Red elites suck. I did sign JV for 1.2m over 8 years, he makes a great 13th forward.

I don’t get this line of thinking.

You’d rather see your team fail to do what it wants just to see strangers freak out online?

- Nucker101


I win either way? Either my team does what it should do, or I see a bunch of people lose their minds over:

1) something they don't have any control over; and
2) something where they are not privy to all the information (i.e. the offers etc.).

Entertainment incoming...
